Leaving the Walk at 10:00am

Adults £27
16 & Under £16

With it being put up (in my opinion) at little late in the day - people need to purchase tickets sooner rather than later.

I'll post the normal things to do etc later in the week.

Coach cancelled for this one - normal things to do coming soon!

[Spiv]

There was meant to be a coach for this game, but it went on sale late and not enough tickets were booked, so it is now off.

So this one looks like train or car.

Kidderminster away is at Aggborough Stadium, Hoo Road, Kidderminster, DY10 1NB. The ground is in a residential area and supporter parking is very limited, so this is one where it pays to plan a bit rather than just rock up and hope. ([1]) ([2])

The following things to do, places to eat/drink and parking details were generated by AI as usual (and where it found the info), with both the driver and train traveller in mind.

TL;DR plan

* Best simple option: if driving, aim for the North Stand Council Car Park at the ground, but be aware it is first come, first served and £7.50. ([1])
* Best fallback for drivers: use a Kidderminster town centre long-stay car park such as Comberton Place, then walk up to the ground. Wyre Forest list up to 24 hours at £6.00 in Kidderminster long-stay car parks. ([3]) ([4])
* Best easy pub option: The Harriers Arms at the ground — the club's own on-site pub and open to all. ([5])
* Best train-friendly pub: The Station Inn, which is 2 minutes from Kidderminster station and also close to the ground. ([6])
* Tickets: £20 seated / £18 standing for adults, with away fans needing to buy online because there is no in-person sale for away fans on matchday. ([7]) ([8])

Parking & getting in

* Official supporter parking: Kidderminster say parking at Aggborough is extremely limited and is restricted to the North Stand Council Car Park, where cars can park for £7.50 on a first come, first served basis. ([1])
* The club also stress that the ground is within a residential area, so if you park nearby you need to be considerate of local residents. ([1])
* Fallback option: Wyre Forest District Council list Comberton Place, Kidderminster, DY10 1QH as a long-stay car park, and their current long-stay tariff for Kidderminster is up to 3 hours £3.60 or up to 24 hours £6.00. ([3]) ([4])
* Arrival tip: because the official stadium parking is both limited and first come, first served, getting there around 90 minutes before kick-off is probably the smart play. (My suggestion rather than a club rule.)

Tickets

* Kidderminster's official 2025/26 admission prices are:

  * Terrace standing: Adults £18, Over 65s £14, Student/Young Adult (16–21) £12, U16 £5, U12 £1. ([7])
  * Seats: Adults £20, Over 65s £16, Student/Young Adult (16–21) £14, U16 £6, U12 £1. ([7])
* Important: away fans cannot buy in person at the stadium box office and must purchase online, with online sales available up to 15 minutes after kick-off. ([7]) ([8])
* The club's supporters guide also says Aggborough is a cashless venue, so take a bank card. ([9])

Pubs & food

* The Harriers Arms (at the ground) is the easiest option by far. It is Aggborough's on-site pub, shows live sport, has a good beer selection and is described by the club as open to all. ([5])
* The Station Inn is a strong shout for anyone arriving by train. It is a family-run pub, 2 minutes' walk from Kidderminster station, and its own site says it is also close to the football stadium. ([6])
* Railway Bell is another option near the station/ground and is one of the pubs Football Ground Guide specifically lists for away fans near Aggborough. ([10])
* Food at the ground: Kidderminster say there are refreshment facilities within easy reach for away fans wherever they are housed. ([1])
* Away-day verdict: if you want least faff, go straight to The Harriers Arms. If you are coming by rail and want a pub first, The Station Inn makes the most sense. (That last bit is my judgement based on the location/setup.)

Train option

* Kidderminster station is around 0.5 miles from Aggborough according to the club's supporters guide, so once you are in town the ground is very walkable. ([9])
* National Rail's station page confirms Kidderminster station has 227 parking spaces and standard facilities if anyone is thinking of drive + rail from part of the route. ([11])
* Car parking at the station is listed by West Midlands Railway at £5.40 daily. ([12])
* From King's Lynn this is still a longer and more fiddly day by train than by car, but it is workable if you do not fancy driving. (That final judgement is an inference rather than a quoted line.)

Simple matchday flow

1. If driving, aim for Aggborough around 90 minutes before kick-off.
2. Try the North Stand Council Car Park (£7.50) first. ([1])
3. If that is full, head for a town centre long-stay car park such as Comberton Place. ([3]) ([4])
4. Have a pint in The Harriers Arms, or The Station Inn if you are coming by train. ([5]) ([6])
5. Make sure your ticket is bought online before heading in. ([8])

Best options at a glance

* Best pub for drivers: The Harriers Arms.
* Best pub for train travellers: The Station Inn.
* Best parking if you get there early: North Stand Council Car Park.
* Best parking backup: Comberton Place.

Never trust AI 

The Harriers Arms is Harriers fans only. Your options at the ground is the supporters club on the East Stand side (ask and someone will point you in the right direction.

Comberton Place is not the town centre. It's the area around the railway station where you'll find a small car park but also the Station Inn (ask for directions) the Bell, and the embarrassingly obvious one that AI missed, the award winning King & Castle right next to the station.

Car parking? good luck with that.

Thanks - it's always good to have real input.

This is the first season I've been doing this and going to as many away games as I can this season. So hopefully next seasons will be better and have more input from me.

Parking did look an issue, but isn't it most everywhere these days.

I'm getting the train so I won't have that headache at least.
